  • Run.

    A slow day here in Northern Virginia. I woke up and headed to Kimmy’s house for a run. We did about 4 miles today. The air was cold and crisp and it made it tough on my asthma. After we finished the run we headed over to meet our friend Melissa’s new Puppy – Laney!…

  • Weekend Run

    I headed over to my friend Kimmy’s ‘hood for our weekend run today. We had a new running partner too – Jack, Kimmy’s dog and he provided a few unplanned breaks and barks on our jaunt.  From our estimates, we ran around 5miles. The weather is gorgeous and that makes for a great day for…

  • Trail Run tracked by mapmyrun.com

    During my presentation to parents this week — Creating Fit Families — my friend Heidi said something that really stuck with me — she said ‘we as parents, cant afford to wait around until someone else gives us an opportunity to get our kids out there and active’. It’s up to us to do it!…

  • Another Tool to measure progress: Map Your Run

  • It’s a mental game

    Yesterday I went for a run when I woke up. The weather was  yet again perfect running weather so of course I had to make the best of it! I ran about 5 miles again – but honestly, it was a struggle. With the cooler air, I have more issues with my asthma. The cold…

  • Saturday Run on the trail

    My big sis Deb was out here visiting for the week. It’s been such a great week too. She got to spend one on one time with HB and my mom came down too. Although the heat got to her, she did manage to go out and see some sites too. It’s hard to live…

  • Post Rest and Recovery Run

    So after a 4 day forced rest period – I got back to my routine with a scheduled run with my pal Kimmy. We met on the trail and I felt great. Together we did 6.5miles – it was a great morning weather wise. Lots of people on the trail. What a difference running with…

  • Post Race Recovery?

    It so beautiful outside.. 80’s and a breeze – I havent run on the trail in a few weeks so I knew it was a perfect day for it. I squeaked out a 5m run but not without stopping a few times.  I am not sure if its the strep or the trail race I…

  • Success any way you look at it today!

    I think you will start to notice a theme in my posts this summer — I am not particularly at my best working in this heat and humidity. I just am not working at my peak level – and my sinus infection seems to be clearing out – which is not necessarily the greatest experience……
